    Russell's Summer Camp Day One

    There's a bit of a disconnect at all levels with the QB. He's always wearing the red jersey and you're not allowed to even touch him in practice (for good reason), yet you don't have that camaraderie you do with the other dudes you're hitting in practice every day.

    NFC WEST...2019

    I don't think you can count on the Cards to do much this year. Their defense has slipped badly, they have a first year coach and you can't expect first year QB's to carry a bottom dwelling team to the playoffs. That said, if they do get to the playoffs, they're one and done as almost every team...

    DK Metcalf

    There is a Youtube video out there that shows a break down of DK Metcalf vs. Calvin Johnson. "Dk Metcalf is shockingly similar to Calvin Johnson". I'm not able to post the link now but it's easy fo find. The physical measurables are almost exactly the same, Calvin also didn't do that great in...

    Kurt warner says Wilson isn't a top 5 qb. Seattle times

    I'd agree with that. I also like Mahomes' attitude and I think attitude and intangibles really separate the elite QB's from the good or even great ones. The only umbrage I'd take on Warner's take is Big Ben. I know he had a lot of yards but it still didn't get the Steelers to the playoffs, he...

    It doesn't add up! (Athletic Article)

    Cable got one thing right. He said "you throw to score and run to win". The one thing I haven't seen mentioned is that a very heavy passing attack typically has lower average time of possessions. Outside of turnover differential and actual ppg, that is likely the next most important statistic...

    How good can Tyler Lockett be?

    Doug was all of that, but he was also extremely intelligent and knew how to work really well Russ. They were constantly in synch and Russ knew what Doug was going to do and when he was going to do it. Think Brady and Edelman. Athletically, Doug had elite quickness and side to side agility. He...

    How stout will our front 7 be in 2019?

    Collier is similar to Bennett in that his hand usage is outstanding for coming out of college. Hand fighting is one of the hardest thing to learn for DLmen and most rookies aren't great at it. He'll be productive. I think our pass rush will be average this year. I worry a bit about Safety...

    Hawks expected to sign Geno Smith

    Lol good choice. He just retired.

    Feel better today about things moving forward

    I'm going to miss Baldwin. It wasn't just his on field stuff but his sideline demeanor and fire. We needed that on the offensive side of the ball. On field, I think Lockett will take his place. He's mostly the same player with better straight line speed and not quite as quick side to side...

    Notes from training camp day 14

    Yup, you play the best, which is Earl. Then, two weeks later when he tweaks his hamstring and has to sit, you IR his butt.

    Austin Davis should be worried.

    This right here.

    Michael Dickson named Punter of the Week (Preseason Game 2)

    That's just nasty. That would allow most DLmen to be able to get down and make a play on the returner by the time he caught the ball.

    What, Me Worry?

    I'm encouraged by how our offense looks. At times we've seen them struggle really badly in the preseason, and it was a precursor for bad things in the regular season. This game, we moved the ball almost at will, but mistakes held us back. Also keep in mind that the Chargers were the #1 team in...

    So the experts say the Hawks will suck this season?

    There are too many question marks to really call a lot of success. I'm kind of feeling a pre 2012 vibe, but it has to come together. We have a new OC. Typically teams don't start out on fire (or completely in synch) when they get a new OC. Look at Atlanta; they have much better offensive...

    The Ethan Pocic Transformation

    You do realize that what Fant did is considered remarkable and very uncommon (outside of using steroids) right ? So you're disappointed that a 2nd year player didn't accomplish something completely remarkable ? Sounds like the typical Hawks fan. :34853_doh: I'd be happy if he shows a league...
